I just bought a beauiful merle Pomeranian puppy, and was told he would make an excellent stud dog. First I want to make sure he's fit to make healthy pups. Any advise would be much appreciated.

Contact the national breed club (otherwise known as the parent club), make some inquiries, make some acquaintances, get to some shows, prove your dog on the field of competition ... and if he's truely respected as a dog that can advance the breed ... respected breeders will come to you.
It becomes, then, your respectable responsibility to make sure that his use is to "approved b*tches only" meaning that they, too, contribute toward the breed's enhancement AND that use of your dog's winning attributes are a good match. Many times, two really good brood animals produce some really crappy progeny. Why? Because the Breeders got so carried away with their dogs as individuals that they forgot to consider the pedigree of the litter.
As to genetic testing ...
By the time you get as far along as I am encouraging, you will have been introduced to your breed's 'breeder ethics' and 'health' committees. They will advise you on what testing is necessary, when, and even by whom. Many times, the club will sponsor certain 'draws' which are arranged, or participating, with other clubs. This keeps vet costs down.
Lastly, with a Pom, you are going to need a grooming mentor as well as a breed(er) mentor.

nicely yea, Pomeranians are a marginally severe potential breed and it is carefully customary for a puppy. As for pulling on the leash he's doing this using fact he's no longer experienced to heel yet. Get into some obedience instructions that might actually assist you prepare your puppy (for my area I advise examining up on the "no longer something in existence is loose" technique), and verify to grant him a lot of workout- Small would not advise low maintenance.

Talk to your vet. You can get a prelim OFA rating now, but can't get a final until after the dog turns 2 and he's fully grown.
If you want to stud him, start working on his CH title now (Showing him in conformation). The more CH titles in his pedigree lines, the better.

Call whoever you got your dog from, and ask for permission to breed him. Then go to your vet and get information on breeding and see if you can make him an excellent stud dog!!!
GOOD LUCK!!!
